I think this is the best place to ask!
Basically I have Quicken 2000 on my PC. I'm currently using it to keep track of all my accounts; graduate, credit card, loan, savings, paypal and piggy bank etc. I do categorize expenditure however I've only inputted all this since the 1st October.
Essentially I currently have no regular income but still have some unavoidable outgoings. Once I do find a job, I have some debt I want to pay off ASAP so I'm looking to work out a budget and stick to it.
However I royally suck at budgeting and my head is spinning a bit looking at the screen on Quicken.
Where do I need to start?

Start at Cash Flow/Budget/Set-up and then fill in your budget for each category. You will not get any help from the "Automatic" set-up since you have no prior data.
For reports, look under "How am I spending my money?" and the report called "Budget".
Simple. [Or am I misreading your question?]0
